This week, DISDads Podcast host Aaron Rittmaster is joined by panelist David Platt and special guests Kris Sheppard, of Go Mouse Scouts and Josh Taylor of Network 1901 to talk about Disneyland Character Dining. We cover all of the options, before a fun discussion about what other character dining we’d like to see at Disneyland. Then we offer recommendations for Character Dining choices for various hypothetical family groups.

Over at Go Mouse Scouts, Kris has helpfully shared a couple of reviews of Disneyland character dining experiences that are part of their podcast episodes, as well as offering a link to his free EBook, “10 Ways Families Can Save on a Disneyland Trip!”

Meanwhile, over on Network 1901, the next season of Josh’s intriguing podcast mini-series “The World That Never Was” will drop soon. Now’s the time to catch up on Season 1, in case you missed it.

Which is your favorite Disneyland Character Dining option? What character dining experience would you most like to see added to the lineup? Leave a comment here on the blog; Email us at podcast@disdads.com; tweet us at DisDadsPodcast on Twitter; and check out our DISDads Podcast Facebook page.

This week’s (late, sorry) DAD Show offers a couple of quick DISDads Community updates. First, we’ll be on a panel at Kansas City Comicon on Saturday, April 29 at 5:00 p.m. talking about how to start up and produce a podcast, along with Jeremy Shields from Neverland Podcast. Second (and probably more exciting) new t-shirts are finally available, courtesy of some great designs and production by DISDad Todd Morgan. On the show, Todd talks about putting the design together and you can learn a bit more about the different shirts and which might be the best choice for you.

Join host Aaron Rittmaster and panelists Kevin Crossman and Jason Mitts for a LIVE podcast over at DisTalkRadio.com. We’ll be extending the spirit of April 1 for a few hours, bringing you a Disney-fan podcast version of the classic HBO series Not Necessarily the News. Remember to head over to DisTalkRadio early, so you can register for the chat. See you there!

The recorded episode is available now, for those of you who missed the live version.

That Was Then / This Is Now

We’re celebrating the 6th birthday of the DISDads Podcast with a LIVE show over at DisTalk Radio. Host Aaron Rittmaster and panelists Brad Coates, Terry Hawkins, and Paul will be talking about all of the changes at Walt Disney World between our first show, released on February 27, 2011, and today. We’ll have the live chat going during the show over at DisTalk Radio – remember to register so that you can use the chat service. And if you’ve got Skype up and running, we’ll also make time to take some call-ins.

In Episode 472, DISDads Podcast host Aaron Rittmaster broadcast a solo live show on DisTalk Radio. The episode previews the upcoming podcast schedule, looking at the topics and panels for the shows slated for release through the end of April, 2017. The list of topics and panels is posted here on the blog.

I’m headed to Disney’s Hollywood Studios shortly to meet up with a whole bunch of other DISDads who are here at Walt Disney World for the 5th Annual DISDads Club Convention. But it seemed appropriate to temper the joy at spending time in our “happy place” with friends new and old by memorializing the recent passing of Alan Mize, one of the co-hosts of the Enchanted Tiki Talk Podcast. The DISDads community continues to offer its thoughts, prayers, and support to Alan’s family, friends, and his Enchanted Tiki Talk Podcast brothers, Keith and Sean.
